Vance warns Israel: Don't fight "only ally" Trump on Iran deal
Vice President Vance on Thursday issued a blunt warning to members of the Israeli government who have been attacking the deal with Iran: President Trump is the only friend you have left, and it would be unwise to cross him.Why it matters: Vance gave public voice to the consternation many on Trump's team have felt with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government over the past three months. He also issued a veiled threat that if Israel undermines the deal, U.S. military support could be impacted.What he's saying: Asked about an Axios report that Netanyahu and his political allies were "fuming" over the deal, Vance said he'd read the story but hadn't experienced any fuming from Netanyahu — though he had been "bothered" by members of the Israeli cabinet attacking Trump over the deal. "Donald J. Trump is the only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time, and he happens to be the head of state of the world's superpower. If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world," Vance said.Vance added that Israel should consider that "two-thirds of the defensive weapons that have protected your homeland have been built by American hands and paid for by American tax dollars.""The problem for Israel is not Donald J. Trump, and anybody in Israel who thinks their biggest problem is the President of the U.S. needs to wake up and smell the reality of the situation that country is in," Vance said.The other side: Netanyahu has kept his frustrations with the deal private, but has been venting in private conversations, sources say.Some senior members of Netanyahu's cabinet — including ultranationalist ministers Betzalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben Gvir, but also ministers from Netanyahu's Likud party — have attacked Trump over the deal. Pro-Netanyahu voices in the Israeli media have made personal attacks against Vance as well as Trump's envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff.On Thursday, Netanyahu said the current situation requires the Israeli government to "remain calm, stand firmly on our security interests and at the same time preserve the important relationship with our American friends, who fought shoulder to shoulder alongside us, and for that we are deeply grateful."At the same time Netanyahu said Israel will not withdraw from the territories it has occupied in southern Lebanon "as long as Israel's security needs demand it."Friction point: The U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding says the ceasefire includes the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, and Israel would have to withdraw from Lebanon under any final deal.Vance said in a press conference on Thursday that the U.S. expects Hezbollah not to launch attacks against Israel, but also expects the Israelis "not to be going wild" in Lebanon. "The Israelis have to respect this peace process...the president's expectation is that all of our friends, the Israelis, the Arabs in the region are gonna work together and actually see this deal to completion," he said.A day earlier, Trump reiterated his criticism of Israel for knocking down "an apartment house every time you're looking for someone" in Lebanon.The latest: After Vance's press conference, Trump posted on Truth Social encouraging "everyone in the Middle East Region" to allow the deal to unfold successfully. "We expect a complete Ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon, Hezbollah, and Israel," he added.Go deeper: U.S. and Iran sign deal ahead of schedule

Minor league baseball team cancels Pride Night ballgame — but still holds Pride Night to punish players
A minor league baseball team was left completely at odds with its own players this week over a gay Pride celebration.The York Revolution is a team in the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball — an official MLB partner league — at the center of controversy in Pennsylvania.'This action by the players is completely inconsistent with our vision.'The Revolution had planned a Pride Night celebration for Thursday, complete with home jerseys with rainbow sleeves set to be worn by players at WellSpan Park. There was only one problem: The players refused to wear the jerseys."It is with great disappointment and [sic] that the York Revolution have issued important changes to our 11th Annual Pride Night on Thursday, June 18th," the organization wrote in a press release.In a bizarre decision, the franchise decided not to simply cancel the Pride theme for the game, but to cancel the game entirely and submit an official forfeit."Out of respect for the Pride Community [sic] and the York community as a whole, the York Revolution has decided that the game on Thursday, June 18, will be forfeited."At the same time, the organization made it clear it did not agree with the players' decision not to wear the rainbow uniforms, indicating the players were not being "inclusive." RELATED: MLB sends subtle threat to SF Giants pitchers over Pride Night biblical protest: 'We have warned the players' Tim Clayton/Corbis/Getty Images "This decision was not reached lightly. Unfortunately, several of our players have refused to wear the scheduled Pride Night jersey and the club decided that hosting the event is more important than forcing players to wear jerseys they are not comfortable with and playing the game," the team wrote.The organization went on, "To be clear; [sic] this action by the players is completely inconsistent with our vision as the Most Welcoming Place in York."The penance shown by the team was multifaceted. Not only did York outright cancel and forfeit the game, the organization said it would treat the game as if it were rained out so fans can redeem their tickets for any future games.Additionally, the team decided it would host a stand-alone Pride event at the baseball park in place of the game, in support of "our LGBTQIA+ representing partners."The event will have music, batting practice on the field, and the ability to "enjoy community," the team said.RELATED: Japanese soccer fans show Texas what being a good foreign guest actually looks like Tim Clayton/Corbis/Getty Images The apology did not come without payment, either, as the Revolution also announced the organization would be donating $10,000 to the Rainbow Rose Center to "further their work in making sure the York community is ... inclusive."The Rainbow Rose Center's mission is to build a "vibrant community of belonging where LGBTQIA+ individuals" are "supported, affirmed, and able to thrive."On Wednesday, the organization promoted an auction for one of the Revolution's Pride jerseys.Business will resume as normal on Friday night, when the Revolution host a home game against the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs. The game will include a Juneteenth Celebration and a "Girl Scout Sleepover."Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox.
